#WATCH | Speaking exclusively to Akashvani News on the historic turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, legendary former Australian captain Steve Waugh shared his deep personal connection to the iconic venue.

He fondly recalled the amazing experience of debuting against legendary Indian stalwarts like Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, and Dilip Vengsarkar, describing his maiden outing against India as an exceptionally special occasion.

Nobody is questioning India's security. If any film promotes terrorism or threatens national security, the government has every right to act... But why not adopt the least restrictive measure? Because that's what the doctrine of proportionality requires: @TheSanaRKhan tells @MadhavGK

In a truly special moment for Indian cinema, director Ashwin Kumar spent almost five years bringing *Mahavatar Narsimha* to life—taking big personal risks without major sponsors or studio backing.
He poured everything into his vision, even mortgaging his own home, while working from a small studio to prove that animation is not only for children.
Today, that dedication has made history. *Mahavatar Narsimha* has become India’s highest-grossing animated film, crossing ₹325 crore worldwide.
Beyond its box office success, the film has also achieved a major milestone by entering the Oscar 2026 eligibility list for Best Animated Feature, taking Indian mythological storytelling onto the global stage.
From financial struggle to worldwide recognition, this journey shows that true breakthroughs are not always powered by huge budgets, but by courage, faith, and unwavering dedication.
1/5 Since 18 June, when real estate heir Ketan Agarwal died after falling from Lohagad Fort, and police arrested his fiancée Siya Goyal and her friend Chetan Chaudhary five days later on charges of conspiring to kill him, the case has sent shockwaves through Pune's Marwari community.
2/5 In Pune, home to an estimated 50,000 Marwaris, the case has become more than a murder investigation. It has reopened conversations about arranged marriages, family authority, community expectations, and the limits of individual choice.
3/5 Community members and observers say many Marwari families continue to place immense weight on parental approval in marriage. For some, the tragedy has reinforced long-held anxieties about modern relationships and changing social norms.
4/5 Some elders now speak of stricter matchmaking, more exhaustive background checks, medical tests, and even hiring private investigators before marriages. What was once built on trust is increasingly giving way to verification.

Here is a picture of Victorian Liberal Party members of parliament sitting patiently in the crowd waiting for Prime Minister Modi of India to step up on stage.
A civilisation of producers was turned into a population of applicants.
Not by accident.
By policy.
The blacksmith knew metallurgy without labs.
The carpenter understood geometry without degrees.
The potter mastered chemistry before universities taught it.
They fed populations. Created wealth. Trained successors.
Functionally — Vaishya.
Then came colonial "education."
Producers were declared *uncivilised*.
Those who memorised answers — *civilised*.
British policy didn't ask: Who produces value?
It asked: Who will obey instructions?
Guild knowledge became illiteracy.
Hands-on intelligence became primitive.
Apprenticeship was erased.
The inversion:
Vaishya became "uneducated."
The new educated — feeding on bureaucracy, not producing — became Shudra by function.
Not knowing materials — knowing files.
Not building systems — serving them.
Creators became clerks-in-waiting.
Artisans who owned production became labour without control.
This wasn't social reform.
It was economic demotion disguised as schooling.
We still celebrate the syllabus, confuse certification with civilisation.
Who feeds whom now? 🧱
This is a reality check for those who blabber about Nehru,Indira & Rajiv's scientific temper..ISRO was marginalized under erstwhile Congress regimes👇👎👎
